What is Muhurat Trading, and how does it work?

On Diwali, muhurat trading is an hour of auspicious stock market trading (Deepawali). It is a symbolic and ancient ritual that has been preserved and observed by the commercial community for centuries. Because Diwali also marks the start of the New Year, muhurat trading on this day is thought to bring money and prosperity for the rest of the year.

Muhurat trading timings

This Diwali, the NSE's Muhurat trading session will begin at 6:15 p.m. and end at 7:15 p.m. Following the Hindu Panchang, the unique trading window opens, signalling the start of a new Samvat or Samvat 2078 — the Hindu calendar year that begins on Diwali — and it is thought that Muhurat trade brings prosperity and fortune throughout the year.
